INSTALLING THE STOVE
POSITIONING
The overall dimensions of the stove are shown in Fig. 3 and 4 along with a table that
indicates recommended distances between the stove and surrounding combustible
materials. As a rule, any surrounding combustible material should not exceed 80°C. There
should be sufficient space around the stove for service work.
HEARTH
The construction of the hearth must conform to Building Regulations, must be firm, non-
combustible and capable of supporting the stove. (Refer to Building Regulations
Document J).
FLUE CONNECTION
The flue pipe used to connect the stove to the chimney is 125mm (5") in diameter. The
stove is supplied ready for top flue connection. To change to a rear connection, a cast rear
flue collar kit or a rear flue box kit is available from www.esse.com. The flue blanking plug
supplied with the kits is used to block the top flue outlet. The blanking plate in the rear of
the stove must then be removed (to access the bolts attaching the blanking plate, the
convector panel must first be removed) - see Fig. 7. The rear flue box attachment allows
the stove to be installed further out of any building recess. Fig. 1 shows suitable flue
connections.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
1. The installation must allow for adequate chimney sweeping.
2. Avoid using bends greater than 45° to the vertical. All flue pipe sections should be as
close to vertical as possible.
3. All joints in the flue system must be effectively sealed.
4. All flue sockets must face upwards.
5. Check the appliance for soundness of seals between castings and main components
and that all supplied parts and fittings are correctly fitted.
On completing the installation, check that all the internal components of the stove are
positioned correctly.
Check - Ashpan, iron grate, baffle, side and back bricks.
Leave the appliance operational and explain the operation of the stove to
the customer. Leave all instructions and operating tools with the
customer.
